German cello from Saxony, approx. 1940

This good sounding German cello was made in Saxony, most likely in Markneukirchen in the 1940's. The Cello was crafted from good quality tonewoods that were covered with a luminous, orange-brown colored varnish. The table is made of medium grained spruce, the two-piece maple back of mildly flamed maple. The purfling and the scroll were precisely executed and determine the solid appearance of the instrument. This good cello is offered with some uncritrical repairs that have no impact on sound or stability at an especially low price. The cello is recommendable for educational purposes due to its strong, clear sound. (photo: cello on the left).
